The heavily wooded backdrop for the site is an abandoned railroad right-of-way, which screens the property from the neighboring church and provides a protected sylvan setting for use of the outdoor terrace, and seasonally varied views from the primary worship, educational, and fellowship spaces.

The program for this congregation is unique, in that overflow holiday crowds are not a factor. The use pattern allows the sanctuary and social hall to function separately at all times, and affords an opportunity to express these primary spaces as discrete elements within the overall composition.
